Virtuoso pianist Louis Lortie joins the Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic for two contrasting pieces by Saint-Saëns, his innovative Fourth Piano Concerto and his atmospheric and engaging Rhapsodie d'Auvergne in which, unusually for this composer, he quotes French folk song. Berlioz's dramatic Royal Hunt and Storm follows the interval and the programme is book-ended by Czech music; Smetana's energetic Overture to his nationalistic opera The Bartered Bride opening the proceedings and the utterly unique sound-world of Janácek's Sintonietta bringing the concert to a thrilling end.
